AI-Native Software Engineer · New York City
Crafting Better Systems.
I'm an AI Engineer Apprentice, shifting from office administration into architecting AI-native software. At MacDowell, an arts non-profit, I spent 6.5 years leading office technology initiatives and IT support before Per Scholas' IT Support program and the Pursuit fellowship turned that into engineering: React, TypeScript, and Python, with agentic workflows orchestrated over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
